Abstract

Our previous report, NMOTC-REMC-002, described how we designed an online family history questionnaire to collect computable data which can be used in clinical decision support for Vietnam-era repatriated prisoners of war medical history. This paper provides the summarized family history data. The top categories of diseases identified by 150 or more surveyed included high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and cancer (unspecified).
